“…miRNAs can positively or negatively regulate signaling pathways, promoting or preventing signal transmission to downstream effectors. Multiple studies have demonstrated that miRNAs play key functions in tumorigenesis by regulating tumor suppressors or oncogenes (108,109). Over the past decade, research on the pathogenesis of BC has led to the discovery of a number of signaling pathways and corresponding therapeutic targets involved in BC, such as transforming growth factor β (110,111), phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog (AKT), mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) (112)(113)(114), Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) (115,116), nuclear factor (NF)-κB (117)(118)(119)(120), Notch (121)(122)(123), Wnt/β (124,125), HER2 (126), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (127,128), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (129,130), cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) (131), poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (132,133) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) (134).…”
